# Diceware
A simple command line tool to generate [diceware](http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html)
passwords from diceware wordlists.
# Usage
The program needs a word list file (which you can download from the link above) to
work. The command to generate a password using a wordlist named `diceware.wordlist.asc` is:
$ diceware -d diceware.wordlist.asc
If you need more or less words than the default, you can give the amount of words:
$ diceware -d diceware.wordlist.asc -n 12
On non-windows systems you can select which device is used for random data:
$ diceware -d diceware.wordlist.asc -r /dev/random
The default source is `/dev/urandom`. On Windows the program uses the Windows cryptography
API (`CryptGenRandom` and friends).
# Building
To build on a unixy system:
$ make
and to cross-compile for example on Linux to win32:
$ make HOST=i686-w64-mingw32
Building on Windows with MinGW:
